Ampelourgia Mpeka was established in 1998 as a vertically integrated production unit in the Peloponnese. Operations span two regions — Arkadia and Corinthia — with 50 acres of vineyards and an additional 10 acres for Sultanina table grapes, plus aromatic herbs such as oregano, all under organic farming principles.
The stone winery sits in the village of Chotousa, Mantinea, Arkadia, at approximately 800 metres altitude. Grape cultivars include Moschofilero, Malagouzia, Assyrtiko, Moschato, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, all organically grown.
